Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading have been included.  Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (VIEs) for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary.  Third-party equity interests in subsidiaries and VIEs are recognized as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE if the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the Company.  If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entity is evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which the Company has control and/or substantive participating rights under the respective ownership agreement.

 

There are judgments and estimates involved in determining if an entity in which the Company has an investment is a VIE.  The entity is evaluated to determine if it is a VIE by, among other things, determining if the equity investors as a group have a controlling financial interest in the entity and if the entity has sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.

 

The Company receives the services of consultants and affiliates for which the service providers are not compensated either through cash or equity, and such costs are not currently recorded in the consolidated financial statements but are necessary for the operation of the Company.  If the Company had to pay for such services, operating expenses of the Company would have increased and operating cash flows of the Company would have decreased.
